SUMMARY:Trouble in the Headwaters Film Screening & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 17th\, the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association and RhizomeUp!Media will host a community screening of Trouble in the Headwaters at Roberts Creek Hall. \nThis hard-hitting\, 25-minute documentary by filmmaker Daniel J. Pierce examines the disastrous 2018 flood in Grand Forks\, BC\, and the hydrological connection to clear-cut logging in the Kettle River Watershed. The film features the research of Dr. Younes Alila\, professor of forest hydrology at the UBC Faculty of Forestry\, whose decades of peer-reviewed research have shown how government and industry have consistently underestimated the flood risks caused by clear-cut logging. \nThe screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Pierce\, Alila\, and Suzanne Senger\, Executive Director of the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association.

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count – Pender Harbour
DESCRIPTION:The 35th annual Pender Harbour CBC (Christmas Bird Count) will take place all day on Wednesday\, December 17th\, 2025.  The backup date is the following day\, Thursday. \nThe Christmas Bird Count is a one-day census of all birds wintering in the Pender Harbour area\, specifically within a 24-km radius circle that extends from Middlepoint in the South to Captain’s Island in the North\, and from the Bjerre Shoals (Malaspina Strait) in the West to Storm Bay (Sechelt Inlet) in the East.  For counting\, this complex area of land\, sea\, and numerous lakes is divided into smaller areas allocated to a group of counters.  There will be at least six expert-led crews\, three of which will spend part of the day on boats. \nThis is a Pender Harbour and District Wildlife Society-sponsored event. Members of the Sunshine Coast Natural History Society take part every year and also provide many of the group leaders. \nThe SCCA’s Daniel Bouman led the Highway One counts for 34 years with support from SCCA members and volunteers. Dan passed away in November 2025. George Smith will now lead this count. \nFind a Route\nPlease also note that registration for some of the boat-based routes (see below) will be limited due to the vessels’ enclosed cabins. \nThe three main land routes and their usual group leaders are as follows: \n1. Oyster Bay and the Garden Bay area (Arnold Skei/Rand Rudland)\, \n2. Highway 101 from Lillies Lake to Ruby Lake (George Smith)\, \n3. Francis Peninsula (Tony Greenfield). \nDetails regarding the boat groups are as follows: \n4. Northern group (Tony Greenfield) will go out in the afternoon to survey waters near Pender Harbour; \n5. Eastern group (John Dafoe/Fianna & Blythe Wilde) will leave from Egmont to survey parts of Agamemnon Channel and Sechelt Inlet\, including Skookumchuk Narrows and Storm Bay; \n6. Southern group (Michael Jackson) will leave from Secret Cove to survey Bjerre Shoals and the shoreline south of Pender Harbour. \nLead a NEW Route?\nIf you are\, or know of\, an expert birder who would consider taking on a new route\, there are several areas within our count circle that are not currently covered (for example\, Spipiyus Park\, Klein Lake corridor\, the big lakes).  Don’t hesitate to get in touch with John Field for details. All registrations and other enquiries should be directed by email to johnfield307@gmail.com or by phone to 604-883-2807. \nPlease let John know: \nA) whether you would like to join the count for the day or part of the day.  There is no formal fee for registration\, but Birds Canada\, which coordinates the CBC program overall\, appreciates donations: www.birdscanada.org \nB) whether you have a preference for a particular route. \nFinally\, if you want to take part in the count by monitoring your home bird feeder during the day\, please get in touch with John to register and get more information on this aspect of the count. \nPlease feel free to forward this message to others who might be interested.

SUMMARY:INCANDESCENCE Film Screening & Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Mar 18\, 2026 | 7:00 PM PDT\nRoberts Creek Community Hall\n1309 Roberts Creek Road\, Roberts Creek\, BC\nBy-donation community screening \nINCANDESCENCE (directed by Nova Ami & Velcrow Ripper\, 2024\, 104 mins.)\nEvery summer\, wildfires increasingly ravage places around the globe\, darkening the skies with thick smoke and reducing communities to little more than ash and debris. Award-winning directors Nova Ami and Velcrow Ripper weave together immersive on-the-ground footage with first-person accounts from Indigenous Elders\, first responders\, and ordinary people forced to react to a rapidly evolving ecosystem. As climate change continues to escalate\, full suppression measures have largely failed\, leading to bigger\, more intense mega-fires. But there is another way. Indigenous knowledge keepers explain that the First Nations people traditionally used controlled burns to regenerate the land. Honouring the experiences of both human and non-human inhabitants\, the film transforms our understanding of fire from destruction and disaster into a profound illumination\, lighting the way towards new life and hope. \nTrailer: https://youtu.be/e17xBip25Xs  \nThis event is presented by the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association and Rhizome Up! Media. \nFollowing the screening\, we will host a panel discussion featuring: \nNova Ami and Velcrow Ripper – FilmmakersCraig Moore – President of Rider VenturesDr. Lori Daniels – Professor\, UBC Faculty of Forestry & Environmental StewardshipLogan O’Reilly – Researcher\, Fire and Ecosystems Research Lab (UBC)\, based on the Coast \nEach guest will offer brief remarks\, followed by an open question-and-answer session with the audience. \nWe typically schedule one hour for the post-film program. If the discussion is robust\, the evening may extend until approximately 10:30 PM. \nThis is an opportunity to engage directly with experts and practitioners working at the intersection of forest ecology\, wildfire science\, community resilience\, and climate change. \nNo pre-registration is required. All are welcome.
